The passenger compartment of the Scala remained stable in the frontal offset test. Dummy readings indicated good protection of theknees and femurs of the driver and passenger. Škoda showed that a similar level of protection would be provided to occupants of differentsizes and to those sitting in different positions. In the full-width rigid barrier test, protection of all critical body areas was good or adequatefor both the driver and rear passenger. In both the side barrier and the more severe side pole tests, protection of all critical body areaswas good and the car scored full points in both of these tests. Tests on the front seats and head restraints demonstrated good protectionagainst whiplash injuries in the event of a rear-end collision. A geometric assessment of the rear seats also indicated good whiplashprotection. The standard-fit autonomous emergency braking (AEB) system performed well in tests of its functionality at the low speeds atwhich many whiplash injuries occur.

Comments
In the frontal test, protection of all critical body areas was good for both dummies, apart from the neck of the 10 year dummy, protection ofwhich was adequate. In the side barrier impact, all critical body areas were well protected for both dummies and the Scala scored maximumpoints in this part of the assessment. The front passenger airbag can be disabled to allow a rearward-facing child restraint to be used inthat seating position. Clear information is provided to the driver regarding the status of the airbag and the system was rewarded. All of therestraint types for which the Scala is designed could be properly installed and accommodated in the car.
The bonnet provided predominantly good or adequate protection to the head of a struck pedestrian, with some poor results recorded onthe stiff windscreen pillars. The bumper provided good protection to pedestrians' legs and protection of the pelvis was also generally good.The Scala's AEB system can detect vulnerable road users like pedestrians and cyclists, as well as other vehicles. In tests, the system'sresponse to both was good, with collisions avoided or mitigated in most cases.

Comments
The Scala has a seatbelt reminder system for the front and rear seats. The AEB system performed well in tests of its response to othervehicles at highway speeds. A driver-set speed limiter helps the driver not to over-speed while a lane support system helps preventinadvertent drifting out of lane, as well as intervening more aggressively in some critical situations.
